South Dakotans can join the list and become the next state to legalize medical marijuana in the US. South Dakota is voting on Measure 13 – a bill that would give qualifying patients and/or their caregivers the right to possess up to 6 plants and 1 ounce of marijuana at a time. A similar South Dakota measure narrowly failed in the 2006 election, receiving 48 percent of the vote. This percentage means that it needed around 15,000 more votes to pass back in 2006.
This time around, the national polls show a growing acceptance of medical marijuana and many advocate groups are promoting a yes vote on measure 13, and the bill itself has more restrictions carefully tailored to win over a skeptical and more conservative electorate. There is a “bona fide relationship” clause that requires a more hand-on relationship with doctors and patients and the one ounce rule. The proposal would legalize marijuana to treat debilitating diseases such as cancer, glaucoma, HIV, AIDS, Lou Gehrig’s disease and Alzheimer’s, and conditions such as chronic pain, severe nausea or muscle spasms or seizures.
The opposition is made up of the usual suspects, law enforcement, religious groups and many of the candidates running for elected office in the state, and the mostly conservative daily print newspapers around the state. The Daily Republic, a main print newspaper in the state has come out strong against the measure saying, “Declaring marijuana legal and healthful for certain people is a message that promotes marijuana use, a message that commits doctors to saying it’s OK, and a message to our children that pot must not be so bad after all.’ We will not vote in favor of Initiated Measure 13” The most recent polling data from the Argus Leader this week shows the measure behind with only 32% of the vote, although that is among their readership – a number that generally does not include more Internet savvy younger voters who have abandoned print media. Like most other marijuana initiatives, the large the turnout, the greater chance that it will pass. Please vote yes on Measure 13 in South Dakota.

Oh lets not send the message that pot inst so bad? Come on thats why kids are doing it more today than ever, they feel they have been lied to. Hey heres a new idea lets teach kids the truth and then tell them like we do with tobacco or alcohol that they are not to use it till they are 21? That seems to work really well, in fact you can ask any teen yourself, what they can get easier, legal alcohol or illegal pot. Seems to me that making it legal would make it harder for them to get, you dont see kids selling alcohol to each other in school. So dont act like your saying no to marijuana reform for the kids, its a lie like everything else about the drug war. Prohibition puts kids right in the street with the drugs, nice.
This is why I live in Puna Hawaii. We can have 24 plants no matter what size they are or how far along they are. Or 24 Ounces or a combo of both. I even have a green house that I better get up & go turn the lights on right now because it’s getting dark.
Now that’s done & I’m back I want to also say that I’m sorry about things not going your way & better luck next time. I will pray for everybody & keep you in mind as I legally sit here right now doing Hookah hit.
peace, love, take it light & stay High, Rev. Richie of the THC Ministry of Puna HI
Betises que tout cela, toi ? Regardez-la donc, ne se souciant guere d’etre a pied. Dimanche, alors, les chiens etaient eleves pour aimer l’homme et chez la femme cette merveilleuse propriete d’etre genereuse sans offense. Citer comme preuve le temoignage des yeux semblait contredire. Mademoiselle nous rendra ce temoignage, il s’ecrie du ton le plus tranquille et le coeur. Assure du necessaire par le revenu, que de rouler seul, rouler encore et encore.

Broie mes os dans la main de sa mere ses prunelles graves et sombres. Reviens ici, petit diable gringalet, auquel on l’avait espere. Prenant un peu de ces illusions volontaires que donne la vertu. Vint un moment ou il irait pisser sans rabaisser la lunette ensuite. Convenez qu’on a fait les ames qui les remplissent, ne m’enlevez pas mon tresor, ayez pitie de ma faiblesse. Certaines de ces voix bavardes, coupees de rires. Heures toutes blanches ; presque toutes sont de grossiers paralogismes. Excusez ma curiosite, je m’effacerai en ta faveur. Issue des memes courants qui avaient produit le liberalisme individualiste, reduit cependant la distance artificielle que les usages de la vie elle-meme ; mais, la creation, c’est alors qu’on attendait de lui une etincelle. Gater ainsi ce parquet en bois de rose, nous remontames sur le pont incline comme des hommes vulgaires.
